The opening scene of episode 3 of "Sao Chon"'s Hanoi leg, broadcast at 9 PM on sunday, 11/10, on the program's website, VnExpress newspaper's YouTube channel, and 8:40 PM on VTV8.
Episode 3 of "Sao Chon," themed "Hanoi's Elegant Flavor," opened with MC Tran Ngoc and performer 14 Casper cycling through Duong Lam ancient village, past golden rice fields. Both are Hanoi natives but rarely get to enjoy leisurely bike rides due to busy schedules. The footage highlighted the characteristic simplicity of a Northern Vietnamese village: time-worn laterite walls, red tiled roofs peeking behind betel nut trees, and traditional life unfolding in a familiar tranquility.
Later, Huyen Lizze appeared as an iced tea vendor, inviting her two colleagues for a drink. Their lively banter created an enjoyable and energetic atmosphere. Huyen Lizze performed supporting dances, while 14 Casper and MC Tran Ngoc improvised a song about Hanoi's culinary delights: "Away from home, I miss the family meal, the Northern meal, West Lake shrimp cakes, I miss La Vong grilled fish. I love Hanoi."
Viewers can rewatch the 54-minute episode 3 on VnExpress newspaper's YouTube channel.
